From Our Editors

For decades, the city of Tacoma was the minor league home of MLB teams from across the country. It hosted affiliates of the San Francisco Giants, the Chicago Cubs, and even the New York Yankees for one season. In 1995, the Seattle Mariners took over Tacoma's team and instantly inherited the long-time organizational name, the Rainiers. The alliance has seen much success over the years, including a Pacific Coast League championship in 2010, a title the club had to win on the road while Cheney Stadium was groggy from anesthesia as it endured drastic renovations.

Those renovations earned the facility a "2011 Renovation of the Year" award from Ballpark Digest. Once dubbed the "100-Day Wonder" thanks to its hasty construction before the 1960 season, Cheney Stadium features an iconic 75-foot wooden exterior façade. Inside, the stadium now boasts such modern amenities as luxury suites, a restaurant, and a grass berm along right field. Despite all the updates, though, the stadium has preserved its epic 29-foot tall batter's eye in centerfield, which sits a distant 425 feet—or, the equivalent of 5,437 sunflower seeds—from home plate.

Groupon Guide

Maybe it’s the rain that keeps Seattle readers inside, cradling their favorite tome. But there’s no denying that this city loves to crack open a book, or curl up in the stacks of some musty neighborhood vendor. Thankfully, there’s no shortage of quality places to buy, trade, read and enjoy books in the Emerald City. Here are some of the city’s best.
One of the most beloved booksellers in Seattle is Elliott Bay Books, which relocated to Capitol Hill from its original spot in Pioneer Square. Fans appreciate the large-scale retailer’s informed, friendly staff and its well-organized selections, nestled among widely-spaced shelves that make for easy browsing. From the latest work of fiction or classic hardcover to long stacks of dime store paperbacks, Elliott Bay Books prides itself on having something for everyone. A readings room on the lower level has played host to many best-selling authors, who read from their work and take questions from the audience. A cozy café tucked into the corner of the expansive shop offers coffee drinks, sandwiches and sweets, and has become a go-to meeting spot for many.
A 20-minute drive from downtown, Third Place Books in Lake Forest Park works hard at creating a welcoming, family-friendly environment for the local neighborhood and beyond. That means arranging comfy chairs throughout the store for customers to peruse their possible purchases, including pint-size seating for little ones looking to start their own love of reading. Regulars gather for everything from mahjong to Big Band dances, often dining inside one of the casual venues in the food court, making this bookstore a champ in the multi-tasking department.
If you’re in the market for an overly-specific tome, check out any of Seattle’s hyper-focused shops as well. The Seattle Mystery Book Shop celebrates the page-turning mystery genre, with tons of otherwise hard-to-find titles that keep longtime guests coming back. Kinokuniya offers an exhaustive lineup of Asian authors, all in a cheery store adjacent to Uwajimaya supermarket in Seattle’s vibrant International District. No matter what text you’re on the hunt for, it’s a safe bet that you’ll find it somewhere around Seattle.
